CHICAGO – As Ozzfest, the summer music jam anchored by Ozzy Osbourne, rolls through Chicago on Tuesday, August 17th, former Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde brought his new band, Black Label Society, to rock at the fest. He also had time to greet fans here on Monday at Borders Books State Street.

Wylde has played with Osbourne on and off since the 1980s, at the same time founding Black Label Society in the 1990s. He has released nine albums with his band and is considered a preeminent guitar hero.
